:35:00
So we start with a giant snake
on stage. It's just floating...
:35:06
- glowing blue in a void of black.
- How many dancers?
:35:09
There's about twenty dancers.
But to make it really smooth...
:35:13
- Can you do it with ten?
- No, we couldn't do it.
:35:15
- Could we cut the tail off?
- Maybe. Yeah.
:35:19
Then from the snake flowing like
that the black curtain goes up...
:35:23
it reveals the blue snake
and it has the Shiva characters.
:35:28
Of the cosmic dancer,
the storyteller.
:35:30
- What's the ballet called?
- Blue snake.
:35:34
The snake representing the spine.
The blue is the energy in the spine.
:35:38
I don't think you understand our
financial situation here.
:35:43
I'm working with mirrors
as it is.
:35:46
This piece will be fantastic
on this company.
:35:50
I believe you.
That's why you're here.
:35:53
Someone has to underwrite this.
It's going to be so expensive.
:35:58
I'm going to have to sell it to
the board. Excuse me? What.
:36:06
Would you excuse me?
I've got an important thing.
:36:09
- I can continue with the staff.
- Let me just tell you...
:36:12
You are a genius. I'm never wrong
about these things, am I?
:36:16
- He never appears to be.
- Ok. Thank you.
:36:18
Thank you very much.
:36:21
- Oh, Robert?
- Yes?
:36:22
Three things to remember:
Budget, budget, budget.
:36:26
I will do my best.
:36:29
- When we'll get the music?
- The music is being written now.
:36:34
- Well then for rehearsals?
- There is no music.
:36:38
Counts?
:36:39
No counts. I like the dancers
to feel their own rhythm.
:36:42
- And then the music can come in.
- Well, it'll be a new experience.
:36:49
That's not good,
out of a straw.
:36:55
Oh well, moving
right along.
